Scotland coach, Gordon Strachan has added uncapped Derby County duo of Chris Martin and Craig Forsyth to his squad for the upcoming friendly against Nigeria at Craven Cottage.
Dundee United left, back Andrew Robertson, is named among the defenders, while Craig Bryson joins his Pride Park teammates who have helped guide the Rams to the Championship play-off final.
Gary Caldwell returns in defence after making a comeback with Wigan, while Hull’s George Boyd is also included. Rangers defender, Lee Wallace, has been left out of the squad, but his Ibrox team mate, Cammy Bell, joins Allan McGregor, Matt Gilks and David Marshall.
Strachan’s team will take on the Super Eagles at Fulham’s ground on May 28, 2014, as Nigeria prepare for the World Cup, where they face Iran, Bosnia and Argentina in Group F.
